What about JLR’s own one? All the wheels sizes will fit inside as they have the same rolling diameter regardless of if they are 18” or 22” and also no problem if you have the Duratrac AT’s instead of the OEM All Seasons. You do get a bit of a work out trying to fit the LR cover though, it’s very tight to fit. I have the JLR one ......... but it’s stored in my garage because I nearly ripped off my finger nails trying to fit it over the 20” Duratracs so I figured that I didn’t want to spend 20 minutes stood on a Streaming wet motorway hard shoulder with a flat trying to get the cover off and left it off!
Mr Eleven has one on his car and persevered to get it on over the 20” Duratracs Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Took me less than 60 seconds getting mine on. I just started at the top and pulled it down, went on real easy.

There’s 2 part numbers for it Tim, the latest one supersedes the first one. Maybe fit issues?

I am now on a waiting list for the cover to become available again for dealership to order as an individual item Whistle I bet there will be a price increase pending shortly.

Not if you have paid for it already.......... mine arrived 6 weeks after the car was delivered but paid for when I decided to take the car. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Changes to the spare wheel mount meaning the cover goes on further than just the inside wall of the tyre?

Does anyone have the spare tire cover to sale if you don't use it much or know where I can locate one? I think these must still be on back-order from LR as I can't locate one here from any dealers in the South East US and was not included in our explorer pack.
